Most of the time, we think of light as accenting and enhancing existing structures. But what if light
was made to be a structure? This was the unique opportunity that Hi Skin, a facial skin care boutique
salon, presented to Lightform Lighting's designers Chad Rothe and Abbie Bruch-Peterson. One of the work
stations at the salon performed higher end treatments, and there needed to be a way to identify that.
Rothe explains, "I thought a really good way to showcase the higher end treatments was some
type of a barrier or room divider. And what better way to do it than with lights! I chose PureEdge
Lazer Line Lens to do it like this, to create visual interest, purely aesthetic. We had them make a
drywall oculus since we were going to need some kind of footer to accept the turnbuckles. I just think
it’s really dramatic to see that vertical repetition, and it’s a really cool identification visually".
Lazer Line Lens is a Direct and/or Indirect LED Lighting System
that provides general illumination for architectural applications.
Slim Turnbuckles and anchors can be mounted wall to wall or
ceiling to floor or ceiling to wall. Turnbuckles allow Lazer Line Lens
to be positioned 0-90° relative to the mounting surface, creating a
3-dimensional look that is as functional as it is visually interesting.
Feed power from one or both ends for longer lengths. Mounts
to standard 4" square junction box with round plaster ring. Paint
canopy to blend into the surface for a seamless look. Lazer Line Lens
is a 0.6" wide stainless steel channel that spans opposing surfaces.
The field-cuttable channel allows continual lengths up to 60' with
power feeds at each end.
For the other stations, each one had
a large, overhead oculus featuring
TruCirque™ as the centerpiece at 3000
Kelvin, with the entire oculus being uplit
in order to create a soft but stunning way
for Hi Skin employees to clearly see their
client's skin. As the pioneer of 5/8" drywall
systems, TruCirque™ brings the same
ease of installation to a pristine circle of
illumination. Redefining the relationship
between lighting and interior design, the
innovative and highly efficient system
blends seamlessly into the drywall,
becoming part of the architecture.
Simply specify the diameter of the circle
that you'd like to create. The flex channel
that is supplied can be field adjusted if
need be. Lens and LED strips are field
cuttable. RGBTW TruCirque™ is supplied
with a Pure Smart/WiZ Pro CV Bridgebox
in the Power Feed. 4 gang junction box
is used to house the CV Bridgebox.
Rothe concludes, "I personally think as a lighting designer, that PureEdge offers the most innovative, creative lighting solutions out there.
Greg Kay is just a total outside the box thinker when it comes to really,
really visually stunning products. The whole team is great to work with".
